Not OP, but for me Vyvanse and exercise really helped get things more under control. Environment also matters. Open plan offices are my kryptonite. My current office is open, densely packed, and loud, so I'm 100x as productive at home. Also, it helps to realize that high stress, crunch time situations are where I thrive. Major outage bringing the company to its knees? I got this. I'm calm, even. Tight, almost impossible deadline? I work extremely quickly and deliver high quality results. Simple bug that's super easy to fix with no pressure? I'll need three weeks to do it. 1 minute to fix it, the rest of the time for unit tests. I get distracted more easily during these times. On the plus side, my tangents sometimes pay off. I get curious, add instrumentation, discover relationships between various metrics, and use that to save millions of dollars, sometimes tens of millions. On the other hand, ADHD also has some emotional side effects and I thus have a higher chance of pissing people off without meaning too. I also score higher on various autism tests, so that could be a factor (though I've never been diagnosed). So my (sometimes) good work is balanced by a weaker ability to collaborate.
